Inclusion, Diversity & Equity

We are more together.

A culture of belonging.

At Fortive, we have a clear vision for inclusion, diversity & equity (IDE): We all have a role in building a community where everyone belongs—where you can speak your mind, be yourself, and feel supported. It’s how we achieve more together—for each other, for our customers, and for the world.

EMPLOYEE & FRIENDS RESOURCE GROUPS

Activating a culture of inclusion.

At Fortive, employee and friends resource groups (EFRGs) activate a culture of inclusion and create space for all voices to be heard. They’re a powerful way to connect and learn more about change-making topics like code-switching, how to be an ally, and unconscious bias. We have 8 Fortive-wide and 23 company-specific EFRGs, and you’re empowered to start a new group for a cause that matters to you. All EFRGs are voluntary, employee-driven, and open to all.

Supporting employees with a personal commitment to inclusion and a desire to be an ally.
 

Strengthening inclusion for Asian and Pacific Islander employees.

 

Building a stronger community by attracting, retaining, and empowering Black employees.
 

Empowering LGBTQ+ individuals and allies to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace.
 

Helping our LatinX community achieve their full potential through inclusion and growth.
 

Empowering womxn by driving change through education, support, and intentional focus on equity.
 

Creating a great place to work for remote employees through networking, tech suggestions, and best practice sharing

Encouraging recruitment, networking, and community support for veterans.
